Our Acupuncture Services for Pregnancy
How Acupuncture Works
Acupuncture stimulates specific points on the body, known as acupuncture points, to enhance energy flow (Qi), reduce stress and relieve discomfort. During pregnancy, it can be particularly helpful for addressing issues such as morning sickness, fatigue, anxiety and physical discomfort. By targeting specific areas, acupuncture encourages the release of endorphins, which help relax the nervous system and reduce symptoms like nausea or back pain.
Safety of Acupuncture During Pregnancy
Acupuncture is considered a safe and natural therapy for pregnant women when performed by a qualified practitioner. Vital Qi’s practitioners are extensively trained to provide acupuncture that supports a healthy pregnancy. Using gentle techniques and carefully chosen acupuncture points, we help expectant mothers experience relief from common pregnancy symptoms in a non-invasive way. With minimal risk and no medications involved, acupuncture is a preferred treatment option for many women throughout their pregnancy journey.
